Frankland Islands Reef: Guided Day Cruise from Cairns + Snorkeling + Lunch
About this experience
Embark on a Frankland Islands Reef Tour for a memorable day in Far North Queensland. Start with a scenic coach ride from Cairns through lush UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforest.
After a calm river cruise on the Mulgrave River, you’ll arrive at Normanby Island in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, having enjoyed the shortest open water crossing from Cairns.
As the only commercial operator licensed to land on the island, explore at your own pace with activities like a guided snorkel safari, semi-submarine tour, and island walk led by a knowledgeable crew member.
You can use the kayaks or stand-up paddleboards before enjoying a beachside buffet lunch. Finish your adventure with a relaxing cruise back to Cairns.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
